Lloyd's List Intelligence launches Smart Connect to simplify access to maritime intelligence through outcome-focused API solutions

Lloyd's List Intelligence today announced the launch of Smart Connect, a new portfolio of outcome-focused API packages that simplifies how organisations access, integrate and scale trusted maritime intelligence across their business.

As organisations increasingly embed maritime intelligence into operational systems, customer platforms and automated workflows, selecting, integrating and managing multiple datasets and APIs has become increasingly complex. Smart Connect addresses this challenge by bringing together Lloyd's List Intelligence data, APIs and intelligence into purpose-built solutions designed around specific business workflows.

Smart Connect enables organisations to accelerate implementation, simplify procurement and unlock value faster. Rather than purchasing individual datasets, customers can select solutions aligned to the operational challenges they are trying to solve, from underwriting and sanctions compliance to chartering, trade intelligence and national security.

Smart Connect supports organisations across shipping, insurance, financial services, government, commodities, logistics and software, with solutions that integrate directly into existing applications, analytics platforms and enterprise workflows.

Each Smart Connect solution is available through a tiered structure, allowing customers to select the level of intelligence, data coverage and functionality that best meets their operational requirements while providing a clear path to expand as their needs evolve.

"Customers aren't looking for more APIs. They're looking for faster ways to solve complex business challenges," said Simon Gibbs, Head of Product, Data & Platforms at Lloyd's List Intelligence.

"Smart Connect represents a fundamental shift in how we deliver maritime intelligence. By packaging our trusted data, APIs and intelligence around real-world workflows, we're making it easier for organisations to integrate the capabilities they need, accelerate time-to-value and scale with confidence. Whether customers are strengthening sanctions compliance, improving underwriting decisions or enhancing trade visibility, Smart Connect provides a simpler and more effective route to trusted maritime intelligence."

Smart Connect is powered by Lloyd's List Intelligence's extensive maritime data ecosystem, including vessel movements, maritime fundamentals, ownership intelligence, risk and compliance data, trade intelligence and global maritime expertise, providing organisations with the trusted intelligence needed to make confident operational decisions.

The launch reinforces Lloyd's List Intelligence's commitment to delivering flexible, scalable data solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern maritime organisations while enabling customers to unlock greater value from their technology investments.
